About WAC

The ASUW Women’s Action Commission is one of eight diversity commissions founded by the Associated Students of the University of Washington. Each commission has a mandate to put on educational programs each quarter, as well as serve and advocate for its constituency within the student government and the administration. The WAC seeks a social justice framework that recognizes and affirms the multiple and intersecting identities held by woman-identified and/or female-assigned-at-birth constituents.

Vision Statement: The values of the Women’s Action Commission include…

gender-based empowerment and advocacy

educate others about the oppressions faced by woman-identified and/or female-assigned-at-birth people

emphasize the intersecting identities within the diverse category of “women”
